Yes, if reports are to be believed, Ashutosh Gowariker roped in about 110 actors for the film and apparently each one of them will be having a substantial part in the film.
Panipat to have a huge star cast of 110 actors
Casting director Rohan Mapuskar after a month-long research and back-to-back auditions finally locked the final cast of the film and it is undoubtedly a mighty one. Speaking about the enormous starcast, Mapuskar said, “The third battle of Panipat lasted for several days and involved almost 125,000 troops, so you can imagine the scale of it. There were many important people involved in this battle, hence we had to cast so many actors in the film. Director Ashutosh Gowariker has envisioned the film on a huge scale, and ‘Panipat’ will definitely be a grand cinematic experience.”
Panipat is based on the third battle of Panipat, which is one of the most epic battles in the history of India that took place on January 14, 1761.
